With all the conflict between the right and left, is it actually possible to be in the political mid-ground in the United States right now? I frequently get accused of being on one side or the other by agitated people, and I'm wondering if my position actually means anything anymore, or if the country has dissolved into Alt-left and Alt-right?

There is no better way to get someone to completely ignore what you're saying than to insult them, but that seems to be the only way people know how to disagree, especially when it comes to politics. Why are people so keen on insulting others that they'd lose their chance to convince someone?
